The side effects of the potion made Lin Tianyin break out in cold sweat from the pain. She lay weakly under the table, carefully looking forward through the gap.
Under Lin Tianyin's gaze, the two researchers in white coats walked past her and stopped near the elf locked in the jar.
"It hasn't recovered yet, and the time for her to repair herself is getting longer and longer."
"It's because the energy was accidentally over-extracted last time. It seems that the production of the next batch of EX crystals can only be delayed."
"...Really, it's almost there now."
"Be careful not to break this end too - alas, it's getting harder and harder to catch a healthy elf alive these days."
"Indeed, the male elf that I bought with great difficulty from the Earl of Marisan broke down immediately. As a result, one of the prototypes that were created was sunk into the bottom of the sea during transportation..."
"Don't mention it... but fortunately, the lord didn't pursue it. What we made this time is the ultimate success. We can't fail anymore."
"Of course, let's observe for a while first."
The two researchers skillfully and quickly recorded the state of the female elf, and then left the laboratory together after some operations in front of a large computer.
Seeing the automatic iron door close again, Lin Tianyin looked around secretly, and after making sure that no one was left behind, she slowly crawled out from under the table.
... God, what did I hear? !
These contents simply shocked Lin Tianyin, even if her mind is not very bright, now she understands what is going on.
Originally thought that the prince was using it to defeat powerful monsters, the EX spar, which was powerful enough to destroy a castle, must have some origin. But Lin Tianyin never imagined that this was made by extracting the life force of elves!
At this moment, Lin Tianyin hesitated looking at the unconscious elf, not knowing what to do right now. There is no doubt that this elf is probably entrusted by the patriarch of the elves to find them. The elf Sidorum was kidnapped by humans a few months ago...
I didn't expect that it was actually done by the research institute... So does Prince Rey know this
Thinking of this, Lin Tianyin couldn't help but shudder. It seems that the origin of the EX spar was not mentioned in the original book, but a cheat-like thing that appeared inexplicably when the author couldn't make up the battle. This thing can be called random, because it is an unreasonable Xiaobaiwen, so Lin Tianyin didn't think about its logical rationality at all, except for making complaints about it. If the prince knows these things...
But thinking of the prince's surprised expression when he heard that the elf was kidnapped, it didn't seem like he was pretending, and he also felt like an idealized upright type. Except for the tendency to be slightly blackened sometimes, he is still a very orthodox prince.
Lin Tianyin forced herself not to think in the worst direction. She felt that maybe the prince didn't know the origin of the EX spar, and she had to ask him about it the next time she saw it.
But the question is what should she do now
Regardless of whether this is a coincidence or some so-called guidance of fate, the goal of the mission is now in sight. Just rescue the elf and bring it back. But the problem is that now Lin Tianyin can't protect herself. Escaping with a comatose elf is simply asking for death. He may be killed when he just leaves this room, and it is absolutely impossible to escape.
The potion that helped Lin Tianyin get into the slit was like a poison, and it had too much effect on her body. Even if she used healing techniques on herself, it would not improve her weak body, so I can't be in a hurry now...
Regardless of whether the prince knew about it or not, if he wanted to see the elf king, he must rescue the elf. If it is a prince, he has the right to ask the research institute to release him. Lin Tianyin thought over and over again, and decided to retreat from here temporarily. The current physical condition is really unsatisfactory, so she should wait for a while to recover before thinking about other things.
After making the decision, Lin Tianyin walked around the laboratory cautiously, and randomly took something inside as evidence. Lin Tianyin is really concerned about the slowly rotating metal ball now, but now is not the time to explore. After making sure she didn't miss anything, she put on a white coat she found in this room, then returned to the iron door, and entered the password she had just written down.
Lin Tianyin already knew that her eyesight was very good. I don't know if it was a bonus from the talent of the brave. In short, the fat woman is all-round and has a very high physical fitness. She can see clearly even things that are far away. This is the same for Mirona. I remember that in the story it was mentioned that the prince planned to buy some special jewelry for Mirona in the store in the Golden City, but when he described the mental activity of Mirona, who was hundreds of meters away, he was "wow." , What a beautiful necklace", Seeing this, Lin Tianyin yelled at the author in his heart for being an idiot for making such a thunderous mistake again. How did Mirona see that the author gave her God's perspective? ! Unexpectedly, I actually saw it...
There was no mistake in the password, and when she finished typing, the iron door slowly opened. Seeing this, Lin Tianyin quickly slipped out, but she couldn't walk fast, her body hurt even more when she started running. This room is an independent room in the middle, and there are roads for both left and right hands. Lin Tianyin hesitated for a moment, and chose the left road following her intuition. She took a weak breath, and walked forward cautiously while leaning on the wall.
The road in this research institute is also like a maze. Lin Tianyin was a little dizzy walking, not knowing which direction she was going at all. The corridor was relatively clean, and I didn't meet other people at all along the way. Although this is a good thing, it still makes people feel a little uneasy. I don't understand what this research institute is doing at all. When passing through a few rooms, it seems that I can still hear strange beasts roaring from inside... It really makes people feel unhappy.
Lin Tianyin continued to walk forward with difficulty, and after returning to the original location for several laps but failed to find the elevator, she finally found an elevator in the central area.
Seeing things like elevators in this fantasy-style world really makes people feel very strange... But at the moment, Lin Tianyin doesn't have the energy to worry about the unreasonable technological gap in this world, so she immediately walked to the elevator and planned to take it, but However, she found that the operation of this elevator seemed to be different from what she knew.
Requires an ID card to open...
After some manipulation, it was found that the elevator could not be forcibly opened by physical means. Lin Tianyin had no choice but to give up because she was worried that the alarm would sound if she continued to mess around.
It seems that we need to find a researcher here and get an ID card from him.
Although her own situation is very bad now, as a hero, she still has no problem solving an ordinary person. After making a plan, Lin Tianyin returned the same way. There is no need to look at the rooms where the sounds of wild beasts came from. Lin Tianyin was like a pervert secretly sticking to the door of every room she passed to eavesdrop. When she finally found a room that didn’t seem to have any strange sounds, the The door opened suddenly.
Lin Tianyin was sticking to the door to eavesdrop. When the door opened, one of them lost his footing and fell down. Suddenly, the other party grabbed her arm and pulled her up.
...
"... Thank you, thank you." Lin Tianyin looked up at the other party, her body became very stiff all of a sudden.
Was this caught on the spot? not calm! Pretending to be an ordinary researcher here too!
"..."
The person who opened the door looked at her coldly. It was a slightly thin man wearing a pair of round-frame glasses. His facial features could be regarded as handsome, but he was not tall. The white coat he was wearing was clean and tidy, and he looked a little weak, but unexpectedly strong. Lin Tianyin's arm was painfully pinched by him, but at the moment she was so weak that she couldn't break free from the man, so she had to put on a mocking smile.
"… What are you doing?"
The man's tone was also a little impatient, and he looked at Lin Tianyin with a frown. After wandering down this floor, Lin Tianyin hadn't seen anyone else except him, so she immediately said tentatively, "I... came to report, the elf has not fully recovered, and the production progress of the EX spar must be postponed... "
Lin Tianyin's quick-witted bet was right again here. This man is indeed the existence of a team leader similar to the research team. He couldn't help frowning even more when he heard this, but he just said coldly: "I understand, then wait a little longer Well, the next batch is a very important finished product, and nothing can go wrong."
"Yes Yes… "
While agreeing, Lin Tianyin calculated the possibility of successfully attacking this guy in her heart. But the man stared at Lin Tianyin for a long time, and suddenly said coldly: "You look familiar, which department are you from?"
"I am new here."
Lin Tianyin was sweating profusely from behind, but she still pretended to be calm on the surface. The thin man in front of him was still frowning and looking at her. For some reason, his eyes were a bit weird, and he seemed to be trapped in his own world. ,This is impossible… "
Lin Tianyin was still hesitating whether to knock him unconscious with a fist now, but she was too weak, the beast... no, it was the brave man's intuition that told her that the other party was not an ordinary person. Just standing in front of her like this made her feel a little uncomfortable, let alone actually doing it.
When the strange man with glasses was distracted, she peeked at his office secretly, and was almost scared to pee—there were countless terrifying monsters inside that she had never seen before, soaked in formalin cans, One by one is lifelike, as if it will break the can at any time and come back to life.
Uh, she hasn't read much and knows little... Is this the normal situation of the Kingdom's research institute? No matter how you look at it, it looks like a mad scientist's collection room!
"What's your name? Show me your ID card."
Lin Tianyin was still struggling in his heart, the man had suddenly recovered from his own world, he pushed his glasses, and returned to that indifferent and impatient look.
"My name is... Linlin Essence Knight." Lin Tianyin gave a name casually, and pretended to reply calmly, "Sorry, doctor, I'm a newcomer and I haven't got a new ID card yet."
"..."
"… Oh, is it so."
The man narrowed his eyes, a look of distrust evident on his face. The man sneered distortedly, Lin Tianyin felt that the conversation couldn't go on, she was about to be exposed soon.
The opportunity is only now. Before the man made any moves, she suddenly punched him head-on, but just as her fist was about to touch him, something like an enchantment suddenly appeared on the man's body, overwhelming Lin Tianyin's strength. bounced back.
"!!"
Hit by the force of the rebound, Lin Tianyin immediately hit the wall behind her. She coughed dryly and almost vomited blood. And the man suddenly moved in front of her, grabbed her neck with one hand, and lifted her up.
"Oh, I finally understand why I find you so familiar..."
Lin Tianyin tried to grab the man's arm, but her whole body seemed to be drained of strength, and she was almost unable to move at all. She bit her lip tightly, and saw the man's face getting closer to her, fierce and ironic Said casually, "It's such an angry face... It looks almost the same as that woman Etrika."
